Do you mean dpkg/rpm/apt/yum/pacman/etc? These require root access and per-manager, and often in practice even per distribution version, specific instructions.

Do you mean dpkg/rpm/apt/yum/pacman/etc? These require root access and per-manager, and often in practice even per distribution version, specific instructions. Not meaning to bash them, I still like them, but the actual problem of ensuring stable interfaces is not solved. Conan and these and other package managers are only automata that provide value under the hypothesis of stable interfaces.
